Bug Description
Incrementing time (by one solar day, one sidereal day, etc.) doesn't seem to work when you go to the Sun and look at the Earth. The "=" key doesn't do anything, and "alt-=" key changes the time by some strange amount - a few weeks?

Solar day on the Sun do not have physical meaning and we can use zero for it. Sidereal rotation period at equator of the Sun is 25.05 days (34.4 days at poles and 25.38 days at 16° latitude). You are right, we should use this data (duration at equator I guess) for Sun's sidereal days.
